BATON ROUGE, LA – Continuing his fight against federal
overreach, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry today joined a 20-state
effort in urging a federal district court in Texas to hold the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) individual mandate as unconstitutional and to enjoin the law.

"Today is another step in ensuring the unconstitutional
actions made by the past Administration are not forced onto the American
people," said General Landry, who voted dozens of times as a Member of
Congress against the ACA. "I will continue working with my fellow
Attorneys General to fight back against unlawful mandates."

The legal complaint filed by 18 Attorneys General and two
Governors explains that the ACA forces unconstitutional and irrational rules
onto citizens and states. Congress recently repealed the tax brought about
through the Supreme Court decision in NFIB v. Sebelius. However, though
the tax was repealed, the mandate was left in place. Since the Supreme Court
has previously decided that Congress has no authority to impose such a mandate
on Americans, the ACA is unconstitutional.

The Landry coalition, led by Texas Attorney General Ken
Paxton and Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, also included leaders from
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Maine,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.
